Dibutyl Sebacate (DBS), an ester of the castor-derived sebacic acid, is commonly used as a plasticizer in many different plastics including cellulose-based plastics, PVC, and synthetic rubber. In particular DBS is compatible with acrylics, cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate propionate, ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene, nitrile rubber (NBR) and neoprene. DBS is approved for plastics used in the food packaging industry, plastics used for medical devices & tubing, as well as for pharmaceutical applications. DBS has good low temperature properties making it an excellent choice for food-contact films designed for refrigeration. DBS is used for lubricant applications, particularly in grease. In addition, DBS finds use in automotive, inks, personal care, and even flavoring applications. ChemCeed stocks this product in its traditional liquid form and also in a specially produced DBS powder form. Please inquire with us to receive a quote.
